Chicken Enchiladas Verdes - Daring Cooks May Challenge

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...The Daring Cook's challenge for May was hosted by Barbara of Barbara Bakes and Bunnee of Anna + Food . The recipe they selected was a Stacked Green Chile and Grilled Chicken Enchilada which can be found here. I opted to make a tomatillo salsa verde using a recipe I've had for years, but I made the corn tortillas from the one Barbara and Bunnee provided for us. I have a neighbor who assisted me with equipment and advice that made the tortillas possible. Even with help, mine were a pretty raggedy affair. Fortunately, my efforts were hidden by copious amounts of sauce and no one, other than me and a neighbor sworn to silence, was the wiser. I can say with certitude that corn tortillas are worth every cent that local markets charge for them. The recipe I used for the enchiladas is a decade old and originally came from Cooking Light magazine. I obviously love it or would not be sharing it with you. It's fairly easy to do and the lighter ingredients do nothing to harm the taste of the finished enchiladas. Here's the recipe I used.

That salsa verde on those enchiladas looks delicious. Nice job on the tortillas... I'm sure they were not as raggedy as you thought. The finished dish looks amazing! Your conclusion about corn tortillas makes me feel a bit less of a wimp for using store-bought.

I think Mexican food has so much flavor in general, that it can be lightened up without harming the finished product. It's so cool that you made your own tortillas - I'm SO impressed! This sounds delicious...I love Tex-Mex.

You are showing here one of my favorite dishes in the whole world and boy do I agree with you that tortilla are worth every penny one pays for them! I would NEVER in a million years attempt to make my own, especially the corn ones; so I applaud you for this! Great results!

Love a good verde salsa but rarely get around to making enchiladas with it. I'll have to give this a try, though I too, will resort to store bought corn tortillas (though around here, there are bakeries that make them and sell them fresh).

These enchiladas look amazing Mary. Thanks for the visit to my blog. I hope that you loved the Olive bread if you got around to making it. Being a grad students makes posting on a normal basis difficult, but I will try to keep it updated for you :)
